Biomaterials center celebrates 25 years of research
The University of Minnesota School of Dentistry’s Minnesota Dental Resource Center for Biomaterials and Biomechanics (MDRCBB) celebrated its 25th anniversary with colleagues from around the world on October 17-18, 2016. The event featured a mini symposium with lectures by MDRCBB alumni as speakers, tours of the research center, an evening river cruise, and a video that traces the history of the School of Dentistry’s biomaterials research from an early focus on developing and testing dental materials through its current investigations into such non-dental industries as food sciences, energy, medicine, pharmacy and geobiology.
